Well, let's put it in these terms, the US refused habeas corpus. They are not going to provide the prisoners with their choice of lawyer.
Remember, this is a tribunal, which is trial by inquisition rather than the traditional common law model of the adversarial system.
I know inquisition is a loaded term, I mean it in the technical rather than emotive sense.
You have made a sensible argument, I am just concerned that the US govt has something to hide, and I am deeply cynical about the Bush administration's motives.
